DELMAR, N.Y. — Employees from four affiliates of America's Best Cleaners (ABC) will pursue a new level of the drycleaning craft by accepting educational scholarships from its partner Kreussler Chemical, a professional textile care business, ABC reports.
The four chosen scholarship recipients will be heading to Drycleaners and Laundry Institute (DLI) classes to continue their education in environmentally friendly dry cleaning in addition to perfecting the comprehensive skill sets mandated to be certified by ABC, the firm relates.
“We are so proud of our affiliates that continually invest in the people maintaining the highest standards of quality garment care and services in our industry,” says ABC Executive Director Christopher White.
